Klook's latest report on Asia-Pacific travel trends in 2024 shows that Vietnamese people are at the top of the region in terms of family travel needs. 3 out of 5 Vietnamese people said they prioritize connecting with relatives through trips.
Nowadays, many young people value the spiritual value of caring for their family members instead of just worrying about "bread and butter". The Vietnamese concept of filial piety and family connection is gradually shifting. Therefore, more and more families see spending time traveling together as an effective way to create memories and connect between generations.
When planning a trip for multiple members, travel budget is one of the main issues that the “money men” have to consider. The “hot” increase in airfares combined with the approaching peak tourist season also makes the cost of travel this summer increase significantly.
Families often have ideas for family trips. You can refer to the suggestions below to optimize the experience and reduce costs.
Experiential travel instead of package tours
Instead of booking package tours, many Vietnamese people now tend to travel spontaneously. Klook's survey shows that half of respondents often book experiences and activities after arriving or while at the destination instead of booking a package tour.
To reduce costs, you can refer to the available schedules of some travel agencies, from which you can personalize the schedule accordingly. From the available tours, you can eliminate or reduce the time at the places that are not too interesting, add more favorite places. Note that you should arrange the schedule of destinations in advance to optimize the distance and travel time. At the same time, you can also refer to more information from groups and articles on social networks.
In addition, according to the experience of some influencers (KOLs) in the tourism sector, transportation costs are often one of the most expensive expenses. Therefore, when designing a trip, travelers should also choose attractions that are conveniently located, book hotels near the center or have public transportation.
"Avoid" peak flight routes
Don’t forget to use flight comparison tools to find the cheapest flight dates. In addition, you can choose to fly early in the morning or late at night to get a better price than flights during business hours. In addition, the closer you book your ticket to the departure time, the higher the price will be, round-trip flights. Therefore, if you have a plan for your trip, the “rooftops” should boldly book tickets in advance and try to arrange a suitable schedule.
To avoid the rising costs when airfares increase, families can also come up with ideas for self-sufficient trips by using a family car or renting a self-driving car to enjoy more experiences along the way. Or, families can also choose to travel by bus or train instead of choosing a plane to reduce travel costs.
The first half of this year also witnessed a change in the way Vietnamese tourists travel as many people limited their travel by air. Means of transport such as trains or family cars are more popular than before. Statistics from Du Lich Viet show that the demand for travel by train in the summer increased by 40% compared to the same period last year.
Hunt for “deals” and manage your budget
Making the most of promotions when paying for airline tickets and booking hotels also helps you save a lot of money. A credit card with many promotions will help the "treasurer" take advantage of promotions from the bank's partners. Instead of using cash or regular transfers, pay more attention to promotions with credit cards, e-wallets...
In addition, credit cards are also a great assistant to help you manage your budget. Instead of spending cash indiscriminately and being difficult to track, spending via card helps the "rooftops" to keep track of cash flow so as not to exceed the set budget.
There are many credit cards on the market that come with different strengths. Some credit cards specialize in cash back for online shopping, some specialize in reducing annual fees, some encourage travel spending. Therefore, you should use a credit card that suits your needs, specializes in incentives for travel options, if your family often plans to "move".
Currently, the credit card of the Bank of Vietnam (BVBank) is one of the lines with strengths in travel spending incentives. The BVBank VISA Lifestyle credit card line is suitable for domestic travel, with a total refund of up to 600,000 VND per month and a maximum of 7.2 million per year. For each spending on hotels, airlines, travel agents, cardholders receive a 5% refund; restaurant spending is refunded 4%. In addition, cardholders also enjoy incentives of up to 30% in many areas such as dining, shopping, travel, entertainment... details at https://bvbank.net.vn/
In addition, you can also consider installment payment to divide the monthly cash flow, helping to reduce the pressure of paying at once. BVBank credit cards have a feature that allows customers to register for monthly installment payments. This is an advantage that helps you be more flexible in your spending cash flow, but also note that you should not "overspend" or ignore the budget plan that has been set.
